I have a carry question?

I don't have my CHL yet but I want to carry in my truck. The Texas Penal Code says that I can carry in my vehicle if i'm "traveling", but I can't find the legal definition of traveling? Is there a certain set mileage involved or anything like that? If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

(i) For purposes of Subsection (b)(3), a person is presumed to be traveling if the person is:
(1) in a private motor vehicle;
(2) not otherwise engaged in criminal activity, other than a Class C misdemeanor that is a violation of a law or ordinance regulating traffic;
(3) not otherwise prohibited by law from possessing a firearm;
(4) not a member of a criminal street gang, as defined by Section 71.01; and
(5) not carrying a handgun in plain view.
